04/03/25 21:29:36 viba: i don't think it's quite fully returned yet. but it might.
04/03/25 21:29:49 heav: to summarize, i'm making a conlang without verbs.
04/03/25 21:29:53 heav: and it's going, i guess.
04/03/25 21:29:55 viba: aha
04/03/25 21:31:15 raven: I wish there was a cool place for me to dig a giant hole
04/03/25 21:31:26 heav: in real life? i agree.
04/03/25 21:31:28 viba: i remember trying to dig giant holes as a child
04/03/25 21:31:30 heav: i've always wanted to dig holes.
04/03/25 21:31:30 raven: yes.
04/03/25 21:31:43 viba: oh, my younger step/half-brothers were doing this some time ago
04/03/25 21:31:44 raven: soil soft enough not to be painful to do this with
04/03/25 21:31:47 viba: in the backyard
04/03/25 21:31:49 raven: and the proper tools
04/03/25 21:31:52 heav: but, i think for any given place i could dig holes in, someone would be angry at me for doing it.
04/03/25 21:32:00 heav: and i lack the tools.
04/03/25 21:32:30 raven: make sure to follow OSHA hole-digging guidelines
04/03/25 21:32:45 heav: make sure to have lots of open fires within arms reach of where you're digging.
04/03/25 21:33:22 raven: that's true.
04/03/25 21:33:24 heav: it was a good idea to make my first alpha bracelet be of a pattern which has almost as many colour switches as knots.
04/03/25 21:33:38 heav: remember kids, run length encoding loves it when you have vertical stripes.
04/03/25 21:34:27 viba: the world if you could somehow have horizontal and vertical RLE simultaneously
04/03/25 21:35:09 raven: hmm.
04/03/25 21:35:17 raven: that's a thought-provoking thing to say.
04/03/25 21:35:23 viba: I have thought about it sometimes
04/03/25 21:35:38 heav: this is generally covered by, say, any compression scheme slightly smarter than RLE.
04/03/25 21:35:51 heav: for instance, if you can do meta-RLE of some kind, it covers repeated vertical patterns.
04/03/25 21:36:00 raven: aha.
04/03/25 21:36:02 viba: oh I guess
04/03/25 21:36:10 heav: i think some compression schemes are basically just meta-RLE to the maximum possible extent.
04/03/25 21:36:45 raven: hilbert curve RLE
04/03/25 21:36:51 heav: atrocious.
04/03/25 21:37:00 heav: they should do that for all CA patterns.
04/03/25 21:37:46 viba: maybe I should make a terrible video format that's slightly more good than the one i made that one time
04/03/25 21:37:54 viba: perhaps taking some inspiration from QOI or something
04/03/25 21:38:01 raven: good.
04/03/25 21:38:17 viba: the main thing I think is that 64 colors without palletisation is a bit too few colors
04/03/25 21:38:23 viba: photographic imagery tends to just look like blobs
04/03/25 21:38:34 viba: brightly colored animations and such work slightly better
04/03/25 21:38:36 raven: aha
04/03/25 21:39:47 heav: esoencodings are a fun concept.
04/03/25 21:39:53 heav: i wonder if there's an actual term for those.
04/03/25 21:40:35 raven: this is a fun idea. we should make lots of esoteric file formats
04/03/25 21:40:56 viba: very true
04/03/25 21:44:44 raven: https://citrons.xyz/files/uYZITgwG.png
04/03/25 21:45:28 heav: i've always wanted to do this.
04/03/25 21:45:36 heav: the idea of making a physical structure has always been appealing to me in general.
04/03/25 21:51:12 raven: yes!
04/03/25 21:51:36 viba: true
04/03/25 21:51:37 raven: maybe there is some form of volunteer construction work one can do.
04/03/25 21:51:57 heav: perhaps. i think i'd be severely underqualified.
04/03/25 21:52:02 raven: though anything nontrivially taxing would be a problem for me.
04/04/25 01:37:35 heav: i love being in alpha bracelet hell.
04/04/25 01:37:54 heav: it has alpha bracelet satan who loves to enumerate to me all the distinct ways in which these knots can fail to work.
04/04/25 02:00:03 raven: sad
04/04/25 03:39:30 raven: feel free to murder me with rocks.
04/04/25 03:39:40 heav: i'm always telling people this.;
04/04/25 15:52:17 heav: i'm now wearing the alpha bracelet i made.
04/04/25 15:52:28 heav: some mistakes were made. it came out not completely mangled, and can be worn.
04/04/25 20:10:48 heav: i should work on my conlang more.
04/04/25 20:10:58 heav: outstanding issues: how modifiers will work, more vocabulary.
04/06/25 11:41:09 Blue-Maned_Hawk: The recursive nature of livechat logs seems to me like a bad idea likely to lead to exponential explosion and the problems thereöf. By the way, what meant you by “no hcopperingots”?
04/10/25 20:25:50 raven: https://heav.apionet.net
04/15/25 14:39:33 heav: that's where we are.
04/19/25 15:33:37 Blue-Maned_Hawk: Is “it's where you are.” the motto of this whebsite?
04/22/25 02:31:57 raven: crawl space by art farmer
04/22/25 02:32:01 heav: why hello there.
04/22/25 02:32:04 heav: what brings you here?
04/22/25 02:32:05 raven: hi.
04/22/25 02:32:09 raven: nothing in particular
04/22/25 02:32:28 heav: arguably i brought you here actually.
04/22/25 02:32:47 raven: sad.
04/22/25 02:34:32 heav: love.math.
04/22/25 14:58:02 viba: hate.math
04/22/25 14:58:37 viba: hmm, what do you think the opposite of math is
04/22/25 14:58:41 viba: VötMax
04/22/25 19:28:53 musija: huh. I've forgotten my soul again
04/22/25 19:29:00 musija: but it seems to be saved in my browser
04/22/25 19:29:03 musija: oh well
04/22/25 19:29:08 musija: I can always register a billionth one
04/23/25 02:41:26 heav: you can probably open your browser console and do localStorage.soul.
05/30/25 04:35:08 raven: live chat
05/30/25 04:38:34 raven: living cat
06/10/25 04:06:33 heav: the chat has flesh and blood.
06/17/25 22:53:06 heav: i'm testing that it still works after i did "things" to it.
06/17/25 22:53:07 heav: it sure does.
06/23/25 20:32:50 viba: 45 is a random number between 1 and 100.
06/23/25 20:32:58 viba: (just kidding. I actually chose this number myself. muahaha.)
07/13/25 06:54:48 heav: bee. apioform, sometimes.
07/13/25 06:55:55 heav: and almost certainly apiary.
07/13/25 06:57:24 heav: and i am testing something.
07/13/25 06:57:36 heav: and it works. yay.
07/13/25 19:22:20 raven: the
07/13/25 19:22:39 raven: the, the.
07/14/25 01:55:51 heav: hi.
07/14/25 01:57:18 viba: meow
07/14/25 01:57:28 heav: hello there.
07/14/25 01:57:37 heav: this chat is now also streamed to somewhere in THIANA.
07/14/25 01:57:43 viba: amazing
07/14/25 23:37:48 heav: first.
07/14/25 23:39:08 raven: hi
